The Fitness Pointe Walkers Group kicked off March 12, 2012 with great success. The program is steadily gaining new members and growing in popularity. The Fitness Pointe Walkers Group meets once a week and covers various topics including walking stride, safe program progressions, as well as basic stretching.

The Walkers Group is a great way to meet new people and work on increasing distance and walks per week. It is not too late to join and walkers of all abilities are encouraged to participate. If you are interested in joining please attend one of the weekly meetings or if you'd just like to start walking, stop by the Fitness Desk to contact Kate Fairbarin or our Fitness Pointe Intern, John Baccino, for your 'get started walking log'.
 

Mondays and Wednesdays at 10am and 2pm

 

We look forward to seeing you at the next Fitness Pointe Walkers Group meeting!  

 

Get ready to lace up those walking shoes, put on that pedometer and walk, walk, walk.

Keep an eye out for more details on how you can participate in this National Walking challenge.
